1 . A route search device comprising:
 parking lot network obtaining means for obtaining a parking lot network, the parking lot network being a network representing a route that can be selected in a parking lot by a user with moving means used after getting out of a vehicle;   in-building network obtaining means for obtaining an in-building network, the in-building network being a network representing a route that can be selected in a building by a user with moving means used after getting out of a vehicle; and   route searching means for searching for a recommended route from a parking location where a vehicle is parked in a parking lot to a destination present in the building, using a network obtained by connecting the parking lot network to the in-building network.   
     
     
         2 . The route search device according to  claim 1 , wherein in the parking lot network, a marking of a parking space provided in a parking lot is included in a route that can be selected by the user with moving means used after getting out of a vehicle. 
     
     
         3 . The route search device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 when there are a plurality of candidate parking locations, the route searching means searches for a recommended route from each of the plurality of candidate parking locations to a destination present in the building, the candidate parking locations being parking locations serving as candidates for parking a vehicle in the parking lot, and   the route search device comprises parking location selecting means for selecting, based on results of the search for a recommended route, a parking location recommended to park a vehicle from the plurality of candidate parking locations.   
     
     
         4 . The route search device according to  claim 1 , further comprising driver's seat location estimating means for estimating a location of a driver's seat in a state in which a vehicle is parked at the parking location,
 wherein   the route searching means searches for a recommended route from a location of a driver's seat in a state in which a vehicle is parked at the parking location to a destination present in the building.   
     
     
         5 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to function as:
 parking lot network obtaining means for obtaining a parking lot network, the parking lot network being a network representing a route that can be selected in a parking lot by a user with moving means used after getting out of a vehicle;   in-building network obtaining means for obtaining an in-building network, the in-building network being a network representing a route that can be selected in a building by a user with moving means used after getting out of a vehicle; and   route searching means for searching for a recommended route from a parking location where a vehicle is parked in a parking lot to a destination present in the building, using a network obtained by connecting the parking lot network to the in-building network.
